Is the work really comparable to an agency?

For the technical parts of a local small-business site, the output is comparable: SSR pages, structured data, sitemaps, and a graded score you can check yourself. What you don’t get is a strategist who knows your market and calls you about it. If that relationship is what you’re buying, an agency is the right purchase and we’d rather say so than pretend otherwise.

What if I outgrow Tilazo?

You own your site and domain, so you can take them anywhere. There’s no lock-in and nothing to buy back.

Tilazo vs a web agency

An agency bills hours. Tilazo ships software.

A good agency does real work: a bespoke site, hand-tuned SEO, a person who knows your business. It also charges a setup fee and a monthly retainer, and often keeps your site on their platform. Tilazo is the other trade. The technical SEO, the lead capture and the concierge run as software for one monthly price, on a site you own and can leave with.
